Brian Finch (25 July 1936 - 27 June 2007) was a British television scriptwriter and dramatist. He had long and/or influential associations with several British dramas. Perhaps his longest relationship was with the ITV1 soap opera, "Coronation Street", for which he penned 150 scripts between 1970 and 1989. However, he was also important to the development of "All Creatures Great and Small", "The Tomorrow People", and "Heartbeat". He also contributed several episodes to prominent British detective programmes such as "Hetty Wainthropp Investigates", "Bergerac" and "The Bill". It was for his work as a writer on "Goodnight Mr Tom", a bittersweet drama starring John Thaw, for which he received a BAFTA.
